On-tap at the GF Brewery. Pours cloudy orange color with a fluffy white head. Actually smelled a bit subdued to me, does smell of earthy hops. Taste is big. Lots of astringent, bitter hop flavors. Somewhat earthy with big ripe citrus flavors. Hop bomb for sure. Lasting bitterness on the aftertaste. Full body with good carbonation.

Jun 28, 2008 Big thanks to Eyedrinkale for bringing a few of these out. Orange golden beer with little head. Aroma is very hoppy. Loaded with pine and orange citrus. Bright and fresh and very tasty. Lean-bodied and dry with a nice chewy resiny spicy hoppiness. Sweet, rich and grapefruity. Delicious.

Jun 26, 2008 Bottle shared by EDA at Joe’s. Lots of Christmasy hops in the aroma, light caramel malt. Powerful, out of balance bitter winter hops in the flavor. Very bitter and intense overall. This is one of those IPAs that to me sits precariously between IPA and IIPA... a bad place to be if you ask me. The hops are too much for a normal IPA, but would be fine for a IIPA but would need more malt to back them up.

Jun 26, 2008 Jeez thanks again EDA for another nice find! Mike really must have the best cellar of anyone i know. Pours a skunky hempy earhty aromatic character. A hazy amber body with a rocky head. Lots of skunk and hempy greens. Awesome IPA. How much different from the W.Coast IPA i dunno. Thanks Mike.
